Clemson has landed a big-time commitment from one of its longstanding targets in the 2021 class.
Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley defensive tackle Payton Page, a top-30 national prospect, announced his commitment to Dabo Swinney and the Tigers on Tuesday evening during a ceremony at a local baseball training facility. He chose Clemson over his other two finalists, North Carolina and Tennessee.
In addition to those schools, Page (6-4, 335) held offers from LSU, Oregon, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Oklahoma among many other major programs.
Clemson was long considered the team to beat for Page, the only defensive tackle prospect the Tigers pursued in the current cycle.
